Must not have flown down to libretro yet then. I'll keep trying.

Hmmmm the libretro port is in sync though, can you still reproduce this if you set the libretro port to 44100 samplerate & disable both interpolations ?

[JoelH]

Yes. Its got to be an emulation glitch because you hear what's causing the distortion with low pass off too.

Hi JoelH,
Regarding Dead Angle:
Thanks for figuring out the source of the problem! I've updated the fix & it should be available soon.

Hi guys, not a lot of news lately, but, some small things:

1. megadrive nonlinear-palette, for more hw-accurate colors inc. shadow+highlight.  thanks to Rupert Carmichael for infos!
2. berzerk/frenzy/moonwarp: occasionally lost words in the speech synth fixed (my bug, oops).  occasionally crackly sounds, fixed by porting more accurate core
3. moonwarp, hooked up analog dial/spinner
4. added mappers 77 and 82 for games Gab75 added to nes
5. fixed pcm sfx sounds in Kickoff (megasys1)
6. fixed bug: when game ran from cmdline, it locked hz @ 60hz for audio, causing the sound pitch to be off for some games which don't run at 60hz.  thanks matead92 for fix!
7. added "map joystick to cursor keys" for zx spectrum, gab75's idea:)
8. state of runahead:  fixes for Pre 90's m-z and Post 90's a-z are all that's left.  This is taking longer than expected, but, when finished - all games in fbn's library should have perfect runahead!

best regards,

Dragon Egg
Ghost House
Air Zonk / PC Denjin - Punkic Cyborgs
Benkei Gaiden

+ a few games that broke 2 days ago when I had accidentally committed a bad experimental fix...   oops!

A big thanks for your excellent work!
hereunder the snapshots of "now working" games...

[dink]

thanks Gab75 and everyone:)

I'm still working hard on PCE/TG16, even though all games are now working there were still some small visual glitches in a few games.  It didn't really bother me until I started playing a 2-all run of Dai Makaimura (ghouls'n ghosts) I noticed some white dots on the top of the screen on the 3rd stage - when it starts..  I had to end the game right there

Great to hear 

The PCE has some of the best shmups ever , along with JP-only hidden gems

Happy to be able to play them all on my favorite emulator

Thanks for the fantastic work as usual , dink

Hi dink.

Is there a reason why the PC-Engine uses different key defaults than other systems?
I was surprised it uses the num pad rather than the arrows by default.

Hi Stifu,
It was actually down to a bug in the inputs default-izer code - it should be sorted now
